Is this the same Arab League whose summit just collapsed or is this a different Arab League?
Is this the same UN that imposed sanctions on Iraq for 12+ years, that backed down with a whimper when Israel refused to allow its inspection of Jenin, that has never even debated sanctions against the US for its invasion, or is this a different UN? The issue is, and is only, the immediate withdrawal of all the invading military forces from Iraq. The crocodile tears about the resulting anarchy from a precipitous withdrawal, are just that, crocodile tears shed after the reptile has eaten its fill and lays immobilized by its own gluttony. Let's recall, the banditry that took place, took place in Baghdad after its occupation not during sustained combat operations, not before. The banditry was accepted with a "boys will be boys" shrug of the shoulders by this same Secretary of Defense. dms ___________________ QA certified-- quality guaranteed by T&A Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Devine, James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 30, 2004 5:52 PM Subject: Re: [PEN-L] U.S.-Led Coalition Shuts Down Iraq Paper Doug Henwood wrote: > >a UN force without the U.S. to replace the U.S. Yoshie asks: > Who do they think will contribute the troops to make up "a UN force > without the US"? the Arab League has been mentioned...
